[The Pack Knight]

This time he said that he knows the Constitution better than James Madison did.

[maica]

Is Giuliani in the debate? I have not heard his voice since I sat down at the computer.

[RightWhale]

How dare the DJIA respond to fundamentals!? Anyway, it was over before the Debate actually started.

I have always liked hunter,but name recog. is sooo important.

"He must be...all anybody can rip on are his looks. I look forward to seeing the rebroadcast."

I have to say I've been a bit disappointed by my brothers and sisters in FReeping...sounds more like people fighting over college football teams.

Just IMHO

[jonathanmo]

Nah, Thompson said “son” singular...I just tivo’d it back..it’s okay, he was a little nervous...

[dakine]

Iraq’s Osirak reactor in 1981....

[LibLieSlayer]

...or ignored when they are not.

Thanks Roddy!

Yes, it was a Ron Paul question. He is the only one with a yes answer.

You have to sort it out with experts in constitutional law. Different actions require different levels of approval.

“Hunter spent 60+ mins on FReeRepublic answering question several weeks ago.”

And here’s the thread for those who missed it, or wish to review it:

Let me know when you convince yourself of that, then you can try to convince the rest of us. Duncan Hunter is the CLEAR winner here, and the “massess” as you say can see that, if they choose to look at the options, rather than choose the candidate that the MSM has selected for us... having said that Ron Paul is a NUT...

[mnehring]

The problem is this is Paul's Constitutional reference.

[sand88]

Did Fred say Iraq had a nuclear reactor taken out by the Israelis? Wasn't that Iran?

It was Iraq. I believe M. Begin ordered it attacked in 1981.

[SoCalPol]

If folks went to the RonPaul Forum they would see he is a
George Soros - Michael Moore clone.
He and his supporters make Hitlery look like a normal conservative

[eternity]

Paul is not a kook.

[ejonesie22]

That has to be the oddest mix ever...

Duncan is a Conservative...

[wastedyears]

So get out and campaign for Hunter. Tell your family about him.

[rodguy911]

Yeah so far, but he wont last, the rat is bound to come out.
